Agreed. I'm not a fan of where he's taken MS these past few years but it takes a lot to step down, especially when you're in the middle of essentially retooling most of what your company is doing. While I doubt he'll be looked back upon like Bill Gates is (will be), Ballmer will be fine.

Cmon guys. He held an intrugal part at the company for 3 decades and was captain of the ship for almost half that time. Regardless of what happens I feel he definitely could have made better choices but I always beleive that part of be a great leader is knowing when to pass the torch and that he is doing.

Well, the guy may be a total suit who lacks any kind of technological vision (he laughed off both the iPhone AND Android) whose temper and petty personality have infiltrated the very fabric of the company, but I have to admit, I admire his ability to look at himself and say "I am not the best person for this job anymore."

Good luck, Steve. I will miss seeing your pictures and immediately feeling the urge to punch you in the face. One word of advice: don't go into sports coaching. You'll have a heart attack and die in your first season.

Steve ballmer is an idiot, he act like a little bitch in his interviews. He was involved of the surface table development but the worst mistake was the pricing they release to the market which cost almost a Billion write off. Stop sucking the board's member nuts and go play bingo with your retirement fund.

I like Ballmer in dealing with windows 8 he made 2 mistake 1= since he knew windows 8 was going to be a big gamble he should have forced the Windows OS team to have a backup desktop only version of windows 8 that would look like and work like windows 7
available for sale six months after windows 8 launched. 2= MS should have launched the "Surface Pro". first.& MS made too many "Surface RT tablets Other than those Mistakes Ballmer did OK because Folks Microsoft main Business is "Enterprise services software ECT. Under Ballmer Microsoft has made PROFITS and is still doing Well in what it does BEST Big Business Enterprise Related Products ECT He leaves the MS CEO JOB with MS making profits in what it does best. I call that a WIN WIN for Mr. Ballmer
